Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Seasoning & Coating

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes to ensure even roasting and a perfect texture.
  2. Make Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a large bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Add the cubed sweet potatoes to the bowl and toss well, ensuring each piece is evenly coated with the garlic Parmesan mixture.
  4. Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the coated sweet potato cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden, crispy at the edges, and tender inside.
  5. Add Optional Butter & Garnish: If desired, drizzle the roasted sweet potatoes with melted butter for extra richness. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top to add freshness and color before serving.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or nutritional yeast to keep it vegan.
  • Herb Variations: Try fresh rosemary or thyme for different flavor profiles.
  • Make It Vegan: Omit the Parmesan cheese or use a vegan Parmesan alternative, and ensure the Italian seasoning does not contain dairy-based ingredients.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook the coated sweet potatoes in an air fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Avoid overcrowding to ensure even cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
